An incidental comedy of the Conference has been the ntment

of the Russians at the excessive precautions en for their safety. No Russian delegates have ited Geneva since 1923, when M. Vorovsky was mur- red in Switzerland. Moscow and Berne recently tiled the dispute which followed upon that murder, and s time the Swiss intended to take no risks of such fortunate occurrences. Accordingly, the quarters of e Soviet delegates were heavily barricaded and the legates were so scrupulously led about under escort at they complained that there were treated as prisoners d prevented from doing their work. They discharged mething like an ultimatum at the League, demanding re freedom and less safety.
